PasswordSentry

Once again, I just want to say thanks for the script. I installed it last night, went to bed, and now I woke up to 6 new bad accounts. Thats with the multiple IP's set to 20! I have a member base of around 3000 and had no idea how many of my members were sharing their passwords. These are not even password sites right now... thats why I set the multiple IP's so high. Your script has paid itself off in under 24 hours! Thanks for an affordable solution to an expensive problem.

You have been extremely responsive and helpful - above and beyond the call of duty. I've been on the internet doing business and dealing with a wide variety of companies, and your customer support is awesome. So many companies suck in that department and act like they could care less once they get your money. I wish everyone were like you, Dan! Thanks!

You are wonderful. You make me feel the best thing I did relative to this cgi script is buy it from you. Your service is quick, its polite and extensive. Please quote me if you would like.

Password Sentry not only provides a great product but the customer service is SUPERB. Talk about customer service that goes above and beyond expectations!

We require ALL websites that host with us to use Password Sentry. If a new client won't use Password Sentry, we will not host them - it's that simple. It's the best anithack software you can find and the customer service is the BEST you can find.

I've been using Password Sentry for a few weeks now. I purchased it without the brute force protection because I didn't want to have problems with my streaming video as I have had with every other password protection program I've used - and I was a little nervous about that. At least the people at Password Sentry tell you upfront the problems this can cause. None of the other companies I've used in the past ten yeras have. I have to say after using Pennywize, Private Eye, Proxy Pass and a few others, this has been by far the best investment I've ever made and it has been saving me money from day one by effectively controlling password sharing. Not only does the program stop it, but gives you the proof to show the 3rd party billing or credit card company which saves in chargebacks and refunds. It also gives you the info you need when you get the member who tries to tell you they haven't been able to access the site as you can look up the user name and email the customer their access log as proof. The live, realtime tracking is very useful to see how many users are logging on during certain periods of the day. Password Sentry installed the software on the sites for me without a hitch and answered my questions. It's also a very clean install without changes to config files or any code added to pages and it runs from my own servers. With the volume of business we do it's really been a huge help. In short, it's worth every penny.

The XXXXXXXXX software we were using pales in comparison to PS! It was okay for stopping a password that had been posted to a "password site", but gave us none of the information needed to stop a "casual" password trader. With PS, we are now able to see full IP addresses, unlike XXXXXXXXX which only showed us the subnets associated with the passwords. This feature allowed us to shut off a password that had been used by one customer from a BellSouth (Southern United States) account and another logging in from Calgary(Canada)... within hours of each other! Also, because the software is on our server, it obeys the limits that we give it. Before converting to Password Sentry, we had lowered the subnet threshold on XXXXXXXXX from 8 to 6. A couple of days later, it shut off a password after 135 subnets were detected! Where was our protection?!? To make ourselves look even MORE ignorant, we paid XXXXXXXXX $100 as a setup fee, AND $30 per month! Password Sentry was only $50!!!

I am so thankful for this softwear program. It sure has cut down on alot of hackers. I have caught many! I new something was wrong before I got this when I would go into my awstats on my hosting sever and see were on member or more of my site would go through 2 to 3000 pages per day. Those were hackers! Thank You

PS has been keeping my sites safe for years now, and this has been my best software purchase ever.

Kick ass, worked like a charm... I honestly had run XXXXXXXXX in the past, but when I changed operating systems over from Sun Solaris x86 to Linux, they wanted to CHARGE me $125 to REINSTALL it, and it only removed users,it didn't give the options that your product has at 1/4 the cost of their system... Thanks for your VERY quick response and VERY quick fix to my particular problem. I can see there will be more business coming your way, as I will spread the word... Take care and thanks!

Password Sentry AWESOME! As a professional web designer i have had the opportunity to work with a variety of programs designed to make web site security simple and reliable. I have NEVER seen a product as versitile and reliable as Sentry. For Over 4 uears i have trusted site security to this invaluable tool, both for my own sites and my clients. Being involved in the Web Site Community, stolen or traded passwords account for nearly ALL lost revenues (both potential and real). Using Password Sentry combined with Protect has 100% effectively stopped password traders and site hackers dead in their tracks, while providing the neccessary information to track the culprits and take the neccessary steps to ensure that they'll not be back! And lets not talk about support!!! You guyz have come thru from day 1!!! Amazing!!! If you've looked for a solid tool to protect your sites assets, look no further!!!! I 100% whole heartedly recomend and endorse this product for anyone who is serious about site security!!!

Before trying the PW Sentry system, our website was under near constant attack from crackers, brute-force attacks were eating up a sizeable amount of our CPU-cycles and bandwidth, and a constant flow of accounts going 'rogue'... we actually had one account in use by over 50 unique individuals at one point! We tried a multitude of different scripts, both freebies' and commercial solutions, but none of them offered much in terms of protection and reporting capability (or customer support!), most of them relying on code that was outdated years ago and well known and subverted by the unscrupulous people who are constantly trying to steal content and bandwidth from us webmasters. But PW Sentry is different, offering a level of protection, alerting, and *action* that no other solution can provide to date; now, when a password-pair is released into the wild, PW Sentry shuts it down immediately, saving us untold amounts of bandwidth and aggravation. After switching our systems over to the PW Sentry system, our bandwidth bill dropped dramatically, easily making it the most cost-effective purchase we have made to date for the administration of our website, and the kind folks at Password Sentry have offered a level of customer support that is *unprecedented*, including amazingly quick response time to support inquiries, as well as free installations of the product, even in non-standard environments that required custom code modifications. The latest version of PW Sentry is state-of-the-art, bleeding edge protection that stops *all* brute-force attacks before they even start, and offers unhackable protection for your web-based endevours. Don't get ripped off any longer by the multitudes of crackers' that inhabit the underside of the web, PW Sentry is the only solution!

I can not recommend a product any more highly than Password Sentry. We use the product on our pay sites with incredible success. There are many similar products on the market today - but none with the cost effectiveness that Password Sentry has afforded us. The product's performance is better than many programs costing thousands of dollars. When our pay sites were falling victim to password traders - their product stemmed the loss of several thousands of dollars in lost revenue per month. Their product can be easily be managed by our in-house IT Staff - and was easily integrated into our proprietary statistical web management software. Their Customer Service Department is much more responsive than any other Company that we have ever dealt with in the past. In this day and age when much is being made of Customer Support Centers, that only provide poor customer support at best, they were there to answer our questions and assist us. If you purchase or lease any other password support software - you will truly be wasting your time and money.

This is really great. I absolutely love this program. I have tried so many others and I always ended up with a headache. Knowing what I know about the program and how well it functions, I can honestly say that it is under priced. It is worth alot more. Thanks!

I have used Password Sentry for 10 years. When we have a client who needs the best member area protection available, we install Password Sentry. Password Sentry can be configured to do almost anything, The best part is that it works the way it's supposed to. You will not get hacked if you use Password Sentry!

Dan has given me 110% support while installing this cheap but comprehensive script. It all seems to be running fine first time as well. Other scripts cost between $50 and $250 that offer what I have here.. and this script is installed by a guy with the patience of a saint for free as well.. what a real net bargain.. if you need these features, stop wasting time looking elsewhere... I already looked.. and this is what I returned too in the end (Jan 18th 2000).

Very much needed, Thank You!

Last night my site processed a purchase made with a stolen credit card. Upon closer inspection we discovered that the purchase was made in the US but the logins were being made from a foreign country. Thanks to PS the login was blocked since the foreign country was already on the ban list. It was pleasing to see PS doing its job - many thanks!

I ran across the link to this software while surfing for other websites to link to. As usual you think "oh hell" another software that claims to stop hackers. Well I read the info and then did the demo with Dan's help. I had been warned that my passwords to my site had been posted on the Net but didn't think anyone would get in. Well upon installation of Password Sentry we caught our first culprit in about 2 minutes. He had posted my link and his password on some site for passwords. I must say I am very impressed and Dan's help (at 2 in the morning) was a big plus. I will be launching 5 new sites in the next 2 months and you can bet your last dollar I will be using Password Sentry. Thanks Dan

Password Sentry is a top-notch product that has performed flawlessly for us, and it's backed by outstanding customer service. We're presently using it on three membership sites with plans to add additional licenses in the future.

Yoohoo! My hubby discovered Sentry over at GFY. We weren't sure at first since we were considering another similar solution. However, after a lot of email tag with you guys (thanks Dan!), we decided on Sentry. With over 500 members on my amateur site, had a real problem with people sharing passwords. With Sentry installed, not a problem any longer. Gonna have my gf's in my network to use or switch over to Sentry. Maybe I should become an affiliate :) Nah, my pleasure, and my thanks to Dan and everyone for Sentry. Hugs and kisses and ...thanks :)

Our company is a network of nearly 100 entertainment sites. We had serious problems with the trading password and attack. For a point, which costs us more than 300000 rubles per month. We have tried a number of applications, in order to defeat. They all worked to varying degrees, but no one has given us everything we need. PassWord Sentry did. This application meets all our needs, protects our desire, and saves us over 270000 ruble every month because we bought a license for all sites in 2012. Thanks, Dan! From one cold place to other, you deserve our respect and long-term loyalty. We will launch 11 new sites next month in 01/13. Every one will use the Sentry!

Thanks. truly amazing. i was getting 1000's of illegal hits to my member area in the last few days on my harmless "non-" site. i generally could go to the trading sites and quickly find my site listed with the traded "passcode" and delete the username. for the 1st time (hours searching), i couldn't find anything! your program immediately picked up and suspended 3 different usernames! and the illegal entries stopped.

Password Sentry is fantastic! It's multifaceted and easy to use. I could not have requested better customer support from Password Sentry's staff in tailoring it to my sites very specific needs. If a webmaster wants a great software program with customer service to match, Password Sentry is the ONLY way to go.

I am an US-based real estate agent who runs a Wordpress blog that provides professional advice to home sellers and home buyers. It is a pay-to-use blog that requires users to purchase access. I started to suspect that some users were sharing their access credentials with others, allowing them to view my columns and advice for free. Potential huge hit to my pocketbook. I looked around for a solution. Not a software pro, but I found a few possible solutions. Three or four, including this one. I contacted each one. None seemed capable of being applied to my Wordpress site. One did, but they were going to charge an incredible amount to money to do it. Finally I spoke to someone with Sentry, and they assured me that their software could be "integrated" into Wordpress. And get this - for no charge. Well, they did it. They had a Wordpress plugin that I plugged into Wordpress. Now I can see how my users are checking in. I have already caught a bunch of users who were sharing their access! I think... I know that this software has already paid for itself. Thanks again!!! Now I more focused on educating and helping my members! I like it, my members like it (even if they do not know why)! Rob

Fantastic program! Feel confident that your members will not be giving away passwords. Email support is very quick and understandable. After researching several password protection programs I found that Password Sentry is the best one on the market. Thanks.

Just had to send my congratulations on one outstanding piece of work. Sentry works flawlessly and shows lots of forethought and talent. After purchasing other crap, it is refreshing to find software that really does the job. Thanks !!!

I only wish I had discovered Password Sentry years earlier! Even though I am a brand new customer at the time of writing this review, PS has already paid for itself in less than a week of ownership. Thanks to the real-time user tracking feature I have already noted several unauthorized login attempts to my website and instantly made the necessary changes to protect my business. Password Sentry support has been beyond amazing, and more than I could have hoped for these days. Seven days a week I know I can count on the PS team to respond to my needs, answer questions and point me in the right direction if I need a little guidance. Definitely one of the best security purchases I have ever made in the sixteen year life of my website!

I wanted to thank the support deparment for all there hard work helping me install PS.. Your support person went far above and beyond what was expected. He gave me suggestions on folder layouts and then helped me after I finished his recommendation. He helped me way into the early hours of the morning and now, my site is up and safe.. Again, I can't thank you enough. Your support alone was woth the money I paid for the script.. Should be a higher price if the kind of support I received is given by all..... Thanks again!

AWESOME! I installed this script in about 15 minutes (that includes reading the directions)! The reporting features are awesome, the power is awesome, and the effect on my performance -- not to mention my bandwidth consumption -- AWESOME! I highly recommend this script!!! ($50 is cheap! I've been looking for something like this for a long time! I wouldn't have blinked at $99!)

Just wanted to let you know the updated version of PS is AWESOME! Last night, I had an attempted dictionary attack. Since I using script-based, the would-be hacker never even got to send a username and password...the logs showed six attempts (all within the same second) that returned a "script called incorrectly" error and BOOM.....IP address suspended. Give him an E for effort....he was back on a new IP address within 3 minutes (I know it was the same person because only the last block of the IP address had changed) and tried again. Same thing....attack began and attack thwarted, all in the SAME SECOND! It just doesn't get any better than that! All but two my clients with password-protected membership areas are using Sentry now, and if they don't sign up for it soon, I'm going to increase their hosting fee. I've bundled it with my Pro plan, and think I'm going to go ahead and bundle it with my Budget plan as well, and just make it mandatory for new clients. BTW, I love the ability to do the user lookup by more than/less than/ x IP's....makes life so much simpler cleaning up the IP logs, just do a search for all users with more than 1 IP and clean 'em out! The new login log is a great addition as well! I noted with interest you plan to have a new version soon that among things, will permit bookmarking....that's great too....although I probably won't implement it here, those webmasters using server-based authentication will probably appreciate it! Overall a very solid product that just keeps getting better and better!

Hi just to say thanks for a very good and easy to use program (ps) we have been using your software on 3 of our paysites for the past week and have already seen a big drop in bwdith usage. Plus the hours we spent manually tracking shared codes is now a thing of the past. Well done! A very happy customer!

I've been a longtime fan and customer of Password Sentry, since the early 2000s. It's very robust and protects download areas better than anything else I've seen. Dan provides world-class support and I have happily bought many Password Sentry licenses to protect download areas throughout my network of sites. The IP tracking, flexibility, accuracy and configuration options makes Password Sentry an absolute must-have for all webmasters with protected download areas. Best script I've used in over 15 years of fulltime being online. A My business is much better because of the peace of mind and logging and protection that PS provides. Sincerely, Ken Calhoun, President TradeMastery.com DaytradingUniversity.com

The script kicks ass though. I really like it. I looked at several others but wasn't too impressed. Of course the price was a huge consideration for me too. Thanks for doing such a kick ass script for such a good price!

I was about to pay some guy to write a script like yours when I came across it today. looks like you saved me a lot of money. Hope we can do more business, you are the most effecient cgi guy I have dealt with and believe me we have dealt with a lot. I finaly finished all the links today and boy am I impressed. Within 3 hours of setting it all up we booted out 2 people who had obviously used traded passwords. Then you wouldnt believe it but we got an email saying that our sister site had been hacked and that one of its login details had been posted on a password site. Our ISP had to disable the server because it was taking up almost a full one of there T-1s. So now I have just this instant ordered the programme for our other site.

Daniel has always offered great and quick support. Password Sentry for me has been the best site protection I found to date. I use ProxyPass and was disappointed and I have had used Strongbox in the past. of which both fall short of where Password Sentry places the bar.

This script is awesome, together with the prompt and competent support at a competitive price i think its a musthave for every webmaster struggling with shared/hacked passwords. Besides this i dont know any script on the web with similar features that works and integrates so well. Thank you!

WOW. In the first day of operation, Password Sentry detected four people who had MY password, a server level access! Rest assured, I won't use the same username and pass for web access that I use for server access again! It also caught a username/pass that was posted on a password trading site, and shut it down. Effortlessly. Your software WORKS, which is FAR more than I can say for some that I have tried. Call me a happy customer, and feel free to put my comments on your website for advertising purposes.
